The Wailers - Don't Ever Leave Me This guitar solo by Ernest Ranglin is possibly the best ever.
Elizabeth Cotten - Freight Train Version straight from YouTube is probably rawer than the live studio album.
Fripp & Eno - Wind On Water If you're forced to take a flight on your own listen to this on headphones.
Brian Eno - Third Uncle When I was young I remember trying to run really fast and almost falling forward mid-run. This song hurtles along so fast it sounds like exactly that.
Luciano Cilio - Della Conoscenza The vocals in this are up there with Ligeti's Lux Aeterna.
The Sonics - The Witch It was a toss up between this and Strychnine.
Neil Young - Guitar Solo, No. 1 The opener from the Dead Man soundtrack. The sleeve notes have great photos of a gurning Neil Young in front of a big screen, scoring the film with just an electric guitar. Or maybe I'm imagining that
Bill Frisell - Effects Pedal Demonstration (I actually like this.)
Phoenix - If I Ever Feel Better (And this.)
Laurie Anderson - The Puppet Motel A less well known Laurie Anderson song from the Bright Red album. Actually there's not really any guitar in here…
Julee Cruise - Floating| Not the normal guitar lick associated with Julee Cruise/Twin Peaks but close enough to raise all sorts of Laura Palmer-based hallucinations.
Neil Young - Organ Solo/Do You Know How To Use This Weapon? This gets in because he plays the organ like he plays the guitar. Haunting and stays with you.
Battant - Old School Baby Battant suffered an abrupt and tragic end in 2011 with the death of Joel Dever, this version of the Nena/Westbam is less polished but rawer.
Donal Keating & John Flynn - KLG Recently blown the dust of my guitar to add some bits to the tracks my musical twin Donal Keating has been sending me across the globe.
Pete Thorn - Guitar Picks (I don't actually like this.)
Wes Montgomery - No Blues Found this relatively late too. The way the album's mixed it sounds like Wes' amp is right next to you.
